Deployment Document

Deployment Overview

• Cross-Platform: The MiaLearningApp can run on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
• .NET 8.0 Runtime: The target environment must have the .NET 8.0 runtime installed (unless you publish a self-contained package).
• For additional usage details, see Use Instructions (or link to your separate wiki page).

Setup Instructions

1. Download the Current Release

• Obtain the ZIP file named MiaLearningApp.zip from your release page or distribution source.

2. Copy File to Deployment Path

• Copy (or move) the MiaLearningApp.zip to the desired location on the host device. For example, C:\MiaApp on Windows or ~/MiaApp on Linux/macOS.

3. Unzip the File

• Windows: Right-click → Extract All (or use a tool like 7-Zip).
• macOS/Linux: Use built-in Archive Utility (GUI) or CLI tools (unzip MiaLearningApp.zip).
• Ensure all extracted files are in the same folder.

4. Confirm .NET Runtime

• If you’re doing a framework-dependent deployment, check that .NET 8.0 is installed: dotnet --list-runtimes Look for .NETCoreApp 8.0 in the list.
• If you provided a self-contained deployment, the runtime is included, so no extra install is required.

Launch Instructions

1. Open a Terminal/Command Prompt

• Navigate to the directory where you extracted MiaLearningApp.dll and other files. For example: cd /path/to/MiaLearningApp

2. Launch via CLI

• Run the app with: dotnet MiaLearningApp.dll
• On Windows, you can also double-click the .exe if you published an executable. On macOS/Linux, you might need to mark the file as executable (e.g., chmod +x MiaLearningApp if self-contained).
